The summer holidays are the perfect time for adventures. You can visit the beach, explore the garden, enjoy a picnic… and travel to wonderful new places through books!
Miffy loves reading because every story is a brand-new adventure. One day you might be meeting friendly animals, and the next you could be visiting the clouds in Uncle Pilot’s plane.
Miffy’s summer reading challenge is a fun way to enjoy reading together and make lots of happy memories during the school holidays.
Why reading is so special
Reading isn’t just fun – it’s a wonderful way to learn, imagine and spend time together.
Whether you’re reading with a grown-up, an older sibling or by yourself, every story helps you discover something new. You might laugh at a funny character, learn an interesting fact or imagine an exciting adventure.
